President Park Geun-hye on Thursday congratulated South Korean marksman Jin Jong-oh for winning the 50m pistol gold medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, praising his "indomitable can-do spirit."
Jin scored an Olympic record 193.7 points in the taut final to beat Hoang Xuan Vinh of Vietnam by 2.4 points Wednesday. His victory made him the first shooter, male or female, to win a single event at three Olympics in a row.
"His record of taking three straight Olympic champion titles and his indomitable spirit will be remembered among his junior colleagues and citizens for a long time," she wrote in her letter sent to Jin.
Park also congratulated judoka Gwak Dong-han and fencer Kim Jung-hwan for winning bronze medals at the Olympics in separate letters sent to the athletes. (Yonhap)
